Li Tian subconsciously used his professional habits from his previous life to analyze Cao Cao's psychology."
Cao Cao's words were filled with complaints towards the Imperial Court!
This kind of context was obviously to show that he was being honest, hoping that the other party would put down their guard and say something from the bottom of their hearts.
Thus, Li Tian played along and said,"
"This humble servant does not dare to slander the Imperial Court!"
"It's just that County Officer Liu treats me like a brother, so I feel that his suffering is unfair!”
"He had no choice but to give up his official position. In the end, it was because the imperial court's law forbidding local officials from crossing the border to pursue rebels was too muddled.”
"It's like tying up loyal officials and good generals and letting the rebels attack first!”
"Could it be that if Zhang Chun doesn't return to Zhongshan Prefecture, the Zhongshan Commandant can't take the initiative to attack?”
"There are more and more thieves in the world. Why can't officials cross the border to kill thieves?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh at Li Tian's words,"
"This idea is very dangerous! The Imperial Court has its own considerations."
'Crossing the border to attack the bandits, giving the provincial governor the right to take the initiative to mobilize troops!“
This kind of thing involves too many things. How can you kids understand it!”
Li Tian pretended to be harmless and said,"
"This humble servant is young and inexperienced. I can't see the overall situation. I only see the benefits and disadvantages in front of me.”
Li Tian's words had been carefully planned.
Firstly, it was to show Cao Cao that he was not shrewd.
He wanted Cao Cao to think that he was a straightforward person.
On the other hand, it was also a matter of whether there were dates or not.
He wanted to slowly spread his image in the small circle.
Cao Cao knew this, but it was probably useless.
However, Cao Cao also had like-minded friends and connections.
What if there were other big shots in Cao Cao's circle who were also planning this?
Then, they would hit it off and use Liu Bei and Li Tian as pawns?
More intermediary channels meant more roads.
Li Tian's homework was not in vain.
Along the way, the two of them cursed at the imperial court and talked nonsense.
As they pulled, Cao Cao suddenly said,"
"Your thoughts just now are quite similar to some of the old officials in the court.”
Li Tian was looking forward to it.
"Oh?" he asked with an unchanged expression. Please teach me, Lord Cao."
"I'm talking about Minister Liu Yan."”
"Liu Junlang mentioned it to His Majesty once!”
"He said that the world's evil has spread to this point, making it impossible for the various regions to defend passively.”
"Instead, we should 'abolish history and change it to animal husbandry' and establish the position of state animal husbandry, giving the local area more power to take the initiative to mobilize troops.”
"It's just that His Majesty has always been afraid of losing control of the place and has been unwilling to allow the report.”
"Hai, even if I told you juniors about these major matters in the world, you wouldn't understand.”
" That's an honor," Li Tian said humbly.”
"I really didn't expect that this lowly official's hot-blooded and shallow views, formed from a moment of righteous indignation, would actually be able to secretly cooperate with an important official of the Imperial Court.”
"If I am lucky in this life, I would like to ask Taichang-qing for advice.”
"What's so difficult about that?" Cao Cao laughed.
"When we return, I will give you an inscription. In a few days, you can go to Taichangqing's residence to pay your respects.”
"Whether Liu Junlang is willing to compromise or not is none of my business.”
Li Tian was stunned.
The so-called " letter of introduction " of this era was used to introduce connections.
When did Cao Cao treat me so well?
It couldn't be.
After a few seconds of shock at Cao Cao's generosity, Li Tian finally regained his senses."
F * ck!
Cao Cao was not doing Li Tian a favor!
He clearly wanted to give Liu Yan a favor!
If the chess piece wanted to find the player, it would naturally make the chess piece owe the person who introduced him a favor.
But for a Go player.
If he found a key chess piece that was just right for him.
He would also owe the person who introduced him a favor.
Therefore, Cao Cao didn't want Li Tian to owe him a favor.
He wanted Liu Yan to owe him a favor!
However, on the surface, he still pretended that he had not figured it out.
With a face full of joy and gratitude, he bowed to Cao Cao in the carriage,
"Duke Cao's generosity is admirable! If Yang Su can ask Taichang for advice, it is the meaning of Cao Cao's recommendation.”
"Sigh, it's just a simple essay. It won't take much time. There's no need to be so formal. Perhaps, in the future, we'll all be officials in the same dynasty.”
Cao Cao smiled and stroked his beard, feeling pleased with himself.
Eh,
In the end, he was still a young man who had not seen the world.
She was so touched.
I'm doing favors on both sides.
Let this kid and Liu Junlang thank me.
Truly wonderful.
Cao Cao gave Li Tian the impression that Cao Cao was smart and good at accounting, but he was not mature enough to see through the whole picture.
The 40-mile journey was quickly completed. In the evening, the carriage returned to Luoyang City from Mengjin Ferry.
Li Tian followed Cao Cao to the Cao Residence. After waiting for a while, he took the recommendation letter that Cao Cao had written.
He was also kept by the Cao Residence for some wine, meat, and food before he politely thanked them and left.
……
Back at his residence, Li Tian saw Guan Yu eating alone.
A simple bowl of steamed wheat and a boiled dog leg.
The current Guan Yu was dressed like a low-key, ordinary bodyguard.
Cao Cao didn't know his abilities, so he wouldn't deliberately treat him politely.
Li Tian was a little embarrassed."
"Second brother, Cao Cao asked me to stay for a social engagement and was delayed.
Fortunately, there would be no official business from tomorrow onwards. It was rare for him to come to Luoyang, so let's eat something good.”
Guan Yu tore off a piece of dog leg, swallowed the meat, and wiped his mouth.
"Why are you saying this?
It was more important not to delay Big Brother's matters.
What should he do in the next few days? Did he have any idea?
Before we return to Ye City, we should make friends with the local dignitaries. Otherwise, how can we stay in the capital to help Big Brother?”
Li Tian smiled and took out Cao Cao's introduction channel,"
"Of course I won't delay big brother's big matter. Today, I ate and drank with Cao Cao just to get this thorn.
With this essay, I am confident that I can find a noble in the capital who is willing to recruit us!”
"Oh?"
Guan Yu immediately said respectfully,
The depression from being left alone at home to eat lackeys had also dissipated.
So Boya and Cao Cao did not eat and drink for enjoyment.
Instead, he was pretending to be polite with Cao Cao and secretly helping Big Brother!
She actually misunderstood him. She was really ashamed.
"Since we have Cao Gong's essay, shall we deliver it to Taichang-qing's residence tomorrow?”
Guan Yu suggested after reading Cao Cao's recommendation letter.
